Hi All,

I've been thinking of trying out the Space Marine Librius Conclave in an upcoming 1850 torunie. Not to sure how it will work. It might be a bit too psychic reliant??

Thoughts?

Plan is to obviously beef up the conclave with the Centurions and cause mayhem.

This list feels too reliant on the Centurions survival to kill anything, mostly related to the super low model count for the points. This is a problem for a few reasons. First, and this is important, is that you make it painfully obvious what your opponent needs to target to win the game swiftly. Secondly, it means that as the game goes on, your overall strength will diminish significantly faster than your opponents will. Its kind of a cascading effect. Your opponent kills something effective, which makes you much less effective, and then the following turn your opponent picks off the next strong model or unit down the chain.

I'd dump 2 of the librarians from the conclave and maybe the allied detachment with the dread. Bump up the tactical squads size, and get them some gear. Maybe change the centurion squad from 1 5 man to 2 3 man squads? Make your opponent have to pick what to shoot at by making more threats

Drop the extra Libby, drop the BA, get a tank for your centurion star (either Smashfether or whatever), and you need a way to get out of close combat.

So either you get really lucky on the psychic table, or get Draigo, or Cypher... Who can't join you during deployment.
